Flame out....
As a few of you know, a pal of mine lives in Ft Lauderdale. He used to race over here and moved out to FLA in 2001.
Well, Ian (Cutler) has now taken up flying and has a great wee 'Experimental' plane of his own, that is, like a microlight is here, but with a proper engine.
Anyways, his mate recently bought some eastern European fighter trainer for a bit of fun. Seems he got his fun as it 'flamed out' a few days ago at 1200 feet, resulting in an unplanned landing on the highway!
Ians' wee plane: 17' wing span, all metal, 3.3 litre flat six motor, runs just shy of 200 mph in level flight. had a go in it in Feb, great fun.
And, an unplanned landing:
